Number Eight: Dwyane Wade

Wade has won three championships with the Miami Heat, and it’s not necessarily certain that he won’t win more – even without Shaq or LeBron. But the Chicago native can know that he’s definitely made his impact on the league, and if that’s not enough to soothe his spirit, his $121,000,000 should help.

Number Seven: Ray Allen

Ray Allen will forever be known to basketball film fans as Jesus. Jesus Shuttlesworth, that is – the main character of Spike Lee’s He Got Game. But when Ray Allen wasn’t busy acting in basketball-themed movies, he was busy hitting three-point field goals for a number of teams. And making a total of $184 million over his career.
